About Me

When life gives you the options of sink or swim, I usually swim. Sometimes with sharks. If you followed the link it took you to whale sharks, which are filter feeding and not dangerous, just like me. I mean, I'm not dangerous. I've never filter fed in my life.

Let’s see, what other things should I tell you? And by that I mean, what do I think you’ll think is interesting. My per-university education was oddly balanced. I was held back in kindergarten so I was supposed to graduate high-school at age 19. But I completed high school in three years so I graduated at 18, on time.

My university career is different. I went to three different universities; a women’s school with horses, a co-ed school with horses, and a state school I could afford with lots of horses nearby. Notice a theme?

I got my first writing award in seventh grade but I didn’t get my first sale until after I moved to South Korea—that required me to give up horses.  That really sucked. Speaking of things that really suck, these vacuums do a great job.

So life without horses, lead to mea getting some plants:  Dead, Deader than Dead and Bob who I killed just like the others. And as the only saying goes, "dead plants are prerequisite for a cat."  Which lead to a second cat. Pets are a slippery slope and before I knew it, I was in charge of a farm which includes: four horses, five dogs, a lot of barn cats and a goat.

Favorite Books

I've liked almost every book I've ever read, but these are books that I remember and sometimes snuggle into like an old, familiar blanket. They are in no specific order.
